[Development of clinical risk management in German hospitals].

ABSTRACT: Clinical risk management supports healthcare workers in recognizing, reducing, and managing risks in patient care. It is mandatory for all outpatient and inpatient facilities in the German healthcare system. The contents of the clinical risk management are regulated in the Social Code (Title 5), the guidelines of the Federal Joint Committee, the Patients' Rights Act, and the norms and recommendations of the Patient Safety Alliance. The Federal Joint Committee explicitly points out that minimum standards of risk management, error management, error reporting systems, complaint management in hospitals, and the use of checklists for surgical interventions must be implemented.The legislator requires that the effectiveness of the clinical risk management be checked regularly.
